[UPDATE] Naoko Directory on VKOC

As reported in the puzzle thread Rusk solved the login for the Naoko directory.

All I have to say about what is in there right now is: Virgil. Is. Utterly. Freaky.

Make sure you click on all the hidden links. I haven't gone all the way through it yet, but there's a lot of content in there.

Odd. Very, Odd.

I have to say though, however twisted and strange Virgil turns out to be, I love that background! Wow!

There's something that bugs me here. In the second sentence, "Nisha" is written when it should be "Naoko". Is this a simple proofreading error? Or is it a warning sign that Virgil may have his realities even more confused than he admits?

I noticed that, too. I think it means that his obsession with Naoko is turning into an obsession with Nisha.

Ick. I knew this guy was creepy - I just didn't realize how creepy. I'd say we should warn Nisha about him, but right now probably isn't the time.

Okay, that's it... the pure creepiness of Virgil has forced me to post. Effective stratagy PMs. Yeh, he certainly has some obsession thing going on with Nisha. Although I don't think it's the same he had with Naoko.

I think he sees Nisha as a piece of art. One of those pieces that he and Naoko would gander at back in the day. *shrug* Just idle [spec] from being forced, extremely reluctantly, to delve into Virgil's twisted little brain.

But yeh, those are some bangin' backgrounds.

Also, just to be complete, the letter that pops up when you open "/her_mail.jpg" is apparently from a life insurance company. Now, I'm not going to say that Virgil had her killed for the money or anything... because acourding to him he has money coming out his ears, but it seems strange that he would immortalize that letter on the internet instead of... say... a christmas card or something equally creepy.

Oh and... *shudder*
